Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

Like other parishes in Seville, its origin dates back to the Reconquest of the town. It is located on the same site as a Roman temple, on which a Visigothic church and later a mosque were built. It is a Gothic-Mudejar type of church, although it was modified during the 17th and 18th centuries.

The construction of the building took place in three different periods. The first was between the 14th and 15th centuries, when a Mudejar church was built with three naves, a polygonal apse and a façade-tower. The second stage began in 1538, when part of the previous work was demolished and the construction of a new Renaissance-type temple began, but this was never completed.

The church was built in the 18th century. It contains images and canvases from the 17th and 18th centuries. 

The church has a Latin cross floor plan with three naves in three sections, a transept, a chancel and chapels on either side. The naves are separated by semicircular arches supported by white limestone Tuscan columns.

It was built in the early 1990s (20th century). The exterior is symmetrical with three main façades. The central facade opens onto the square through a wide door finished with a semi-circular archivolt.

This shrine was built in the late 15th century. It is a Mudejar-style building, with a single nave and a sail vault over the chancel. The Catholic Monarchs ordered it constructions and granted particular graces under the Royal Decree of Graces signed in 1486 in Salamance.

The church is located in the high quarter and was built and inaugurated in 1969. The main façade has an access porch with a triple portico of semicircular arches, and above the central arch, there is a ceramic panel with the image of the saint after whom the church is named, San José, who appears with the infant Jesus in his arms.

This church belonged to a Franciscan monastery. It was built in the first half of the 17th century and underwent various alterations in later times, reaching our days greatly transformed.
